Best Gov't Media Site In British Columbia?

I've been on the internet way too much lately, but it has been very enlightening. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Public Eye Online with Sean Holman & associates has changed their site for the better. Much better, including excellent video interviews & tweets. I would say that this site is now the 'go to' site for provincial gov't news. No one else even comes close.

His YouTube posting for Sunday was right on!

"HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY":

And for dessert he tweeted a link to this:

What Can We Learn? Elections in BC and Afghanistan

But the elections are over. The real question in both cases is whether the institutions of society will prove to be sufficiently robust to thwart the intentions of the formally elected governments to proceed as if the elections were legitimate. It is hard to be optimistic in either case, even though in both cases the basic facts are clear. Both winners pursued election practices that involved provable deceit and fraud at a level hardly seen in a modern democracy and both refuse to acknowledge what they did. Both used the powers of official office and government to give a large advantage to themselves. And both have systematically lied and withheld information about the true state of affairs. And it appears that both will get away with it.

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.

We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
